June 4th - July 3rd

With direction by Kyle Myers

In his charmingly disarming musical, William Finn tackles a variety of challenging subjects with wit and intelligence.  His characters are members of the "typical modern American nuclear family": a son, his mother, his divorced father, his father's gay lover, and the family psychiatrist who makes house calls and marries mom.  The protagonist, Marvin, leaves his wife and son to move in with his male lover.  The "tight-knit family" portrayed in falsettos is often frayed and frazzled by life's abrasions, but it is a source of warmth and comfort, even as its members complain, kvetch and generally disrupt each other's lives.  But no matter what happens the musical is filled with love, resilience, and affirmation of life.  Everyone on stage is a human being -- feeling, hearing, living intensely emotional upheavals as honestly as they know how, and coping with the consequences.  Falsettos was the winner of the 1992 Tony Award for "Best Book of a Musical" and "Best Score"
